Dear Greg, Dear Distinguished colleagues in Jurisdiction Sub-Group During the last call, unfortunately and unintendedly I was, to some extent, emotional and went beyond what usually I do. In this family of CCWG, there have been circumstances in which hard discussion and heated disputes occurred but we should be bear in mind that we must always maintain necessary degree of tolerance and patience at these circumstances and respect each other irrespective of the majority or minority spectrum. We are all human being and may unintendedly and momentarily loose our cold blood. I have formally admired the hard work of Greg in the last f2f meeting in Johannesburg and I continue to admire him and appreciate his valuable efforts. The issue in his hand is delicate, sensitive and complex. If there is not sufficient progress it is merely because of that and if there are other reasons for speed of progress the whole group in a collegial and collective manner should share the responsibilities and burden and not Greg I have sent a short message to my dear Friend Greg and expressed my sincere regret if my emotional intervention has grieved him and I am sure he has not taken it seriously. I informed him, that, as usual, I do my best to further collaborate with him and with the group with a view to find out whether there are ways and means to for the resolution the problems that we are facing. I wish all of you, in particular. My dear friend Greg, a very nice week-end On Fri, Aug 4, 2017 at 3:36 PM, Paul Rosenzweig < paul.rosenzweig@redbranchconsulting.com> wrote:
I am certainly happy to discuss a request for written answers to focused legal questions. Questions of the form “is OFAC a problem?” are to indefinite for legal answer. As expressed, many of the questions proposed were of this indefinite variety. Others were so broad in scope (e.g. “provide a summary of OFAC”) as to be huge time investments for no apparent gain. Better questions would be of the form: “Identify cases in which OFAC’s application has had a legal impact on ICANN’s operations?”
I have not gone through the proposed questions item by item – but I would be happy to work on finding from that list the sorts of questions that lawyers can actually answer and seeking written responses.

Dear all,
Let me endorse Kavouss' request - also supported by Seun and Jorge - that answers be provided in written form, with whatever disclaimer might be necessary to ensure they are not in the form of any official legal advice or the like.
Judging from the last call's transcript, not all questions formulated upon the rapporteur´s invitation were systematically covered during the call, so it is only fair to have the unanswered questions also addressed, preferably in written form. I'd also reiterate the views expressed by others: for the sake of clarity and to allow and promote further participation, it would be necessary to have also in written form (even if succinct) the answers to the questions that were supposedly covered during last call as the transcript does not allow to clearly correlate each question to each comment/answer.
Further, several questions were asked during last call, some of which may have been questions that were only asked at that time. It seems that none of them had to pass the test of consensus either to be asked or to be answered. So it would be unfair now to ask for support for certain questions to be asked and then answered, particularly those questions that were only asked following the rapporteur's invitation in the mailing list.
Finally, I believe that no one would ever feel their views are systematically disregarded if their requests or suggestions were subjected to the same test that is applied to other´s proposals…
Best regards,
Benedicto

Greg
I do not understand what you are talking ABOUT
Samantha, during her presentation, three times emphasized that if we had questions we could raise them with her. Read the Transcript.
Two of these three times she referred to me.
Pls do not be so formalistic. Let us do our work.
pls do not complain to anyone about me as it would have negative IMPACT . This issue is important.
Then I was formally invited to raise my questions with her, pls read transcript after I was so invited.
What do you want to prove? We are not to be treated like student
We should be respected. The tone of your message is offensive even though you have used diplomatic offensive language .That does not work
We are part of a group and must understand each other’s problems
What you stated is quasi preventing me to speak freely?
Why there is prohibition to reply to the invitation that she launched to us and to me? Why I should not address my question to ICANN STAFF? She does not work for you. She is working for ICANN and we are all part of ICANN i replied to Sam’s invitation that is all.
Why I need the approval of the group in which over represented by those that do not wish that I talk at all ?
Cheers

Kavouss,
Kindly direct your request to the Subgroup, and not to Sam. This is a matter for the Subgroup to consider, rather than any individual participant. The Subgroup can take up your request and decide whether to ask for written responses to questions (and if so, which questions). Thank you.
Best regards,
Greg
